That looks nice, is it working? Is it for sale?

I really don't know if it was working, I was warned by the staff of the establishment it was at not to play it so the machine must have had problems, I don't think it was for sale. There is a story on the KLOV forums about this game, apparently it was made in a city about 30 min from where I live and all the parts for it and some cabinets were demolished in a warehouse because the person who invented the game died... something like that. Read it on the KLOV. I know someone who was trying to get all the parts and keep them but they were unable to before the person died.

You can't post that with no backstory Alex!

What's the history of the game?

(I love the fact that you can see the DK cab shape heritage in it! Same curves, and speaker grille etc)

Fancy ball and Dead line were em games released in 1978 along with a few a other variants but there is little or no information on these early games.
Game play was simple, just guide the marbles from top to bottom leading them to bonus holes at the bottom using levers and buttons.
Small prizes sweets or tokens appeared at the bottom hole.
Similar premise as ice cold beer in a way.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but it's a cool track and a cool video so at risk of repetition, hopefully worth it!
